Last summer I had a chance to make several custom ketubot. One of the most memorable was for Rachel and Dean Laster, co-founders of In Bliss Weddings. I met Rachel at a truly spectacular bridal expo that she and Dean put together at the Montclair Art Museum last spring to kick off their In Bliss web launch. A few months later, she contacted me to share her vision for a custom papercut ketubah that would complement their Parisian wedding theme – Laduree, the famous makers of adorable little pastel-colored macarons. My mouth waters just thinking about it.

Over the course of several weeks, we worked together to create a design that incorporated the pastel colors and riffed on the packaging design of Laduree with the couple’s silhouettes as a centerpiece. Here are some images of the final product:

Rachel gave me permission to share a few of her wedding photos, by WeddingLight, to put the work in context:

Rachel and Dean are clearly excellent planners (after all, they chose me!), and their passion for love and weddings really shows – not only in their own wedding, but also on their website. If you’re planning a wedding and looking for vendors in your area, check it out here (www.inblissweddings.com).
